Coil guns use precisely controlled electromagnets to pull the projectile trough the barrel, turning off as it passes to not slow it down.
Railguns use metal rails with a high voltage current linked to them. The rails are bridged by the projectile, creating a electromagnetic field that interacts with the fields of magnets in the railgun, pushing the projectile out.
Coilguns are more efficient, lower maintenance (with a railgun every now and again you need to change the rails) and theoretically can achieve greater range and accuracy, but are a lot more complex because of the extremely precise timings the electromagnets need and would arguably be more expensive
Well not really. Railguns in a practical sense can punch as hard as coilguns on Agrippa’s level, but when you go further in tech coilguns just outclass them eventually. The advantage of railguns is that they’re cheep and reliable, not a lot where it can break. A coilgun only needs one wire do go caput and it won’t work properly
Should I make Rehy’s List Of Things To Purge™️ canon?
Yes
No
0voters
The list in question
Rehy’s list of things to purge ™️:
-Genocide
-Racism
-Cults of personality
-Class oppression
-Imperialism
-Eugenics
-Oppressive theocracies
-Anyone who attacks them first
-Forced labour and slavery Rehy’s (Obviously it won’t have ™️ in canon.)
Propaganda yes:
-It would function as some type of Geneva Convention.
-Purge Propaganda no:
-I’d have to make another wiki article and figure out how it’s implemented
-Stop saying purge pleaaAse
When/if we hold a vote on what to do with A1-0, we should probably have a poll on whether people are going to retcon their lore regardless, and how extensively
Yeah since Mantiss is going to move Calerost to another plot and KingTEM retconned our first contact I’ll just talk to Mila about just retconning Galactya and the COE entirely
Colonus wouldn’t be all that messed up by the retconning in other star nations, at least not in any way that I couldn’t change with minor edits, but at this point I’ve kinda talked myself into retconning anyway
I want to retcon Galactya, I just need to ask Mila about the whole COE deal
We do have our own separate project now, which is cool, but it’s grown to be quite different from the original COE so it was going to be quite sad.
Although, since we are kind of doing a big reboot/reset now, me and Mila could just remake the COE to fit without Galactya as it is now, maybe by just making the COE have been the COE for some thousands of years instead of being a recent development. Would definitely be easier for a lot of worldbuilding elements.
